WEBVTT 00:02.410 --> 00:06.070 Success to me is being able to serve 00:06.070 --> 00:08.550 others and help others realize the 00:08.550 --> 00:10.661 potential so that they can become the 00:10.859 --> 00:12.915 best versions of themselves focus at 00:12.915 --> 00:15.109 their primary duties focus at their 00:15.109 --> 00:18.040 jobs , innovating , finding pathways , 00:18.110 --> 00:20.350 overcoming mission constraint for us to 00:20.350 --> 00:23.069 just continue to move the needle and be 00:23.069 --> 00:25.909 one step ahead in this race against the 00:25.909 --> 00:26.909 enemy . 00:31.620 --> 00:35.439 I think combatives is a very uh 00:35.889 --> 00:38.000 important part of you know who we are 00:38.000 --> 00:40.680 as warrior airmen . In our Eman's Creed , 00:41.060 --> 00:43.500 the second line is , I am a warrior and 00:43.500 --> 00:46.520 it's not lost upon me that We might be 00:46.520 --> 00:49.159 called one day to step away from our 00:49.479 --> 00:52.750 day to day AFSC primary roles and maybe 00:53.040 --> 00:56.389 hold the line in a combative way . I 00:56.389 --> 00:58.619 think jujitsu's changed me quite a bit 00:58.619 --> 01:02.069 uh with perseverance as long as you can . 01:03.020 --> 01:05.459 Come back from a loss , your 01:05.459 --> 01:07.459 perspective changes , right ? You , 01:07.459 --> 01:09.889 your body and your , your mental 01:10.860 --> 01:13.120 fortitude . Is a lot stronger than what 01:13.120 --> 01:16.550 you think and so if you . Put yourself 01:16.550 --> 01:18.661 in difficult situations and say hey I 01:18.661 --> 01:20.828 can come back from this or I can learn 01:20.828 --> 01:23.260 from it . It will help you grow all 01:23.260 --> 01:26.540 around . Early on in my life , I 01:26.540 --> 01:28.818 thought jiu-jitsu was just about being , 01:28.818 --> 01:31.040 you know , like this warrior and always 01:31.040 --> 01:33.699 just about winning and taking all that 01:33.699 --> 01:36.290 glory . But through the years I've been 01:36.290 --> 01:39.220 able to expand my mindset and I found 01:39.220 --> 01:41.730 that I'm more resilient . I'm more 01:42.099 --> 01:44.900 competent . I'm more like confident in 01:44.900 --> 01:47.122 my abilities and if you put me in front 01:47.122 --> 01:49.860 of a wall , I will find a way to get 01:49.860 --> 01:51.971 through this wall . Yeah , I just , I 01:51.971 --> 01:53.916 just feel like I'm a superhero . I 01:53.916 --> 01:57.440 thought I could do anything . When I'm 01:58.239 --> 02:00.072 I'm going against somebody and I 02:00.072 --> 02:02.239 realized hey I'm not as strong as this 02:02.239 --> 02:04.406 individual so I have to change my game 02:04.406 --> 02:06.406 plan quickly . I'm not gonna try to 02:06.406 --> 02:08.517 stand up with this guy . I'm going to 02:08.517 --> 02:10.572 actually pull guard and I'm going to 02:10.572 --> 02:12.683 attack his legs so I didn't have that 02:12.683 --> 02:15.017 game plan going in , but I , I realized , 02:15.017 --> 02:17.128 hey , I need to be able to flex or go 02:17.128 --> 02:19.072 to a different strategy . The same 02:19.072 --> 02:21.128 thing with the the Air Force is that 02:21.128 --> 02:23.239 hey we have many resources and people 02:23.239 --> 02:25.461 are here to help us and support we just 02:25.461 --> 02:27.628 need to have the right contacts to get 02:27.628 --> 02:29.683 those those things moving so if it's 02:29.683 --> 02:29.300 one airlift I need to get something 02:29.300 --> 02:32.339 moved somebody knows somebody else that 02:32.339 --> 02:34.395 can reach out to another base and we 02:34.395 --> 02:36.809 can get somebody to help us . When we 02:36.809 --> 02:39.210 are asked to deploy and be in different 02:39.210 --> 02:42.130 environments or are in situations where 02:42.130 --> 02:45.009 we need to engage our airmen will have 02:45.009 --> 02:46.953 the emotional intelligence to take 02:46.953 --> 02:49.065 action appropriately and then win the 02:49.065 --> 02:49.050 fight .
